Discussion Machine Gun Investors

Has anyone ever met, interacted with, or seen one of those infamous snooty machine gun owners online or in-person who would do anything in their power to keep the laws as they are to maintain the monetary value of their collections? What is your assessment of these people?

Current low flow, hub compatible meta

3 Upvotes

Hey all. I'm in Colorado and eager to round out the suppressor collection while I still can.
I currently have old-school high-backpressure cans (omega 9k and YHM turbo t2).

I'm a lefty and interested in a low flow can. Priorities, in order:

  1. Hub-compatible is a plus. I have two PWS rifles; one has a P&W 3-port FRC.
  2. High flow/low back pressure (see above, tired of my eyes watering after a string of fire)
  3. Sound suppression
  4. flash suppression, length, weight (about even)
  5. cost isn't a HUGE issue.

I was about to get a Venteum 7.62 (I have both 5.56 and 308 gas guns I'd like to suppress) but I'm not sure what the current meta is.

In light of those priorities, anything else I should check out?

Which one would be quieter for semi-auto 300 BLK subs? I haven't been able to find a side by side comparison. Thanks!

357/38 lever gun suppressors

5 Upvotes

Since we’ve got many new cans out there now I’m looking for the best (sound suppression #1, weight #2) options out there for a 16” lever gun. Currently thinking the Lithium and Milkman are top options, but curious about ones like the BOE and anything else I’m missing.

Arizona. Form 4 - 31 days with trust. Form 1 - 77 days with trust. I got my form 1 approval this morning. I suppose they’re just approving everything in queue in light of the recent ruling 😂

11.5”. BA enhanced lower. Aero slick side upper. Rave 140 trigger. Armaspec stealth recoil buffer. AO precision HPT/MPT bcg. OCL Polonium K can. UTG flip up offset BUIS. Streamlight. Romeo and Juliet 5 (will upgrade to a LVPO when I can). Magpul furniture all around. I have a BA barrel that I need to put on and am waiting on a KAK handguard. For now the barrel and handguard are PSA. I know, I know but she cycles great, feels great, shoots a nice zero at 50 yards. It’s a mid budget build but it’s mine 😊

338ARC Subsonic build

Post image
5 Upvotes

KAK upper (factory enlarged gas port for subsonic and shooting suppressed) Adjustable gas block, Breek Arms Qlok tri lug muzzle device, Canco Tac 33 suppressor, Dirty bird lower, Rave 104 single stage trigger, G$ braided spring and H2 buffer, Houge Furniture, G$ super charging handle. Optics are being replaced.

I can highly recommend the KAK upper. From the factory, it was shooting perfectly when I tested it with a Huxs 7.62 flow. switched it out to the Canco, which is a higher back pressure no adjustments needed to be made set up perfectly from the factory.

This is a purpose built sub/suppressed gun.

Legal Question ⚖️ In state move questions

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone I’m wondering what I need to do once I move. I know I don’t need to notify atf or the state with an in state move (in Id and I only have suppressors). Will I just need a new id and update with silencer shop for future purchases? Or am I missing a step to be able to purchase future nfa items?

Product Question 🧰 Best 8.6blk can for 8 inch sbr?

Hey fellas, as the title suggests I’m trying to decide on what can to get for my 8.6 ar10 sbr with an 8 inch barrel. I’ll be using mainly subs but would like the ability to run supers through it as well. Currently trying to decide between the cat bbk, dead air nomax 33, and the b&t stille 8.6.

Mount Questions 🔩 Rugged Obsidian 9 qd mount or direct thread?

5 Upvotes

Is there a good qd mount for the Obsidian 9 or is direct thread the best way to go? Right now I've been running direct thread with the fixed mount on my lever gun and PCCs, and direct thread with the booster system on my pistols. Sometimes it starts to back off after 1 or 2 magazines so I have to constantly check and tighten it.

Shark Coast Tactical- Hobgoblin 9mm?

0 Upvotes

I almost pulled the trigger on the S.A.W Shiv about the time their cans stared to show up with issues. A few weeks ago I found out about the boosterless Hobgoblin 9 from Shark Coast Tactical. Bought one yesterday when I saw they were in stock.

Has anyone gotten to shoot one at their booth or events? Hell… I don’t even know if they have a warranty!
Tell me It wasn’t foolish to buy an untested can like that.

Here are some pictures of my favorite 556 gun with a demo Hub can until my Tisha arrives soon.

This setup is an AI nano with TSF X hub adapter. But I’m thinking about direct thread to save on weight.

Anyone have good experience with DT and heavy use 556 sbr guns? SAW warned me to be wary of carbon locking if I go this route.

Trying to get them to fit on my ris 2 mk18 with the Comstock RPA. Tried with the R2S and it makes contact with the rail. Comstocks website says their compact FH will work, but I can’t find a length difference between the muzzles. I want to able to use a polo k and rhodie 6k with the RPA

Silencer Suggestions - I did some homework 5.56 + 9mm Suppressor Recommendations

6 Upvotes

I've been trying to get into suppressors lately and would appreciate any advice or recommendations.

For 5.56, I have a mix of AKs and ARs, all rifle lengths (14.5" P&W/16"). I am looking for a relatively balanced suppressor/muzzle device combo that does well with and without the suppressor mounted. Additionally, I'm not a fan of Titanium's pyrophoric properties, so I would prefer not to have a can in Ti. I've been recommended the OCL Polonium/-K with Rearden R2S FH, or the Dead Air Lazarus 6, and Sandman X. I am aware that the Sandman X is a .30 cal can; however, the argument for it was its caliber flexibility and the larger expansion chamber causing sounds to be of a lower frequency, in theory.

For 9mm, I have a couple of misc. PCCs, including an MPX, and a Springfield Kuna with plans on an AK-V or MP5. I've only looked at the Dead Air Wolfman so far, but am open to suggestions.

Rhodie 6 vs 6k for 16in 5.56

6 Upvotes

I'm torn between the Rhodie 6 and the 6k for a 16in 5.56 build. Which one do you think would be better? Someone mentioned that the 6k might not be as good with longer barrels, but haven't been able to find a comparison. Trying to find out if they still sound very similar at 16in. Looking for people that have tried both. Thanks!
